Hi Shirley,

That's a beautiful flower!

While my conditions are certainly nothing like those in Texas, so I probably shouldn't be giving out cultural advice, I wonder (judging by the color of the leaves) whether the plant can take more light. I stuck my Cymbidium in a full southern exposure last summer (in MA :)) and got 6 spikes this year, as opposed to 0 the previous year in a shadier area. From what I've understand, cyms bloom best when their leaves are very light green, bordering on yellow. Just my 2c.

Hope she puts on quite of a show for you next year.
